Translation

```

Who does not know the end of a human body,

What will happen to the body at long last?

When I become acquainted with the embodied soul,

I become aware of the body,

But not of what is inside the body.

Therefore, I always sport with the body

And I forget that the body will one day expire.

Therefore, I make no upward progress. ```
